5-weeks helping teenagers step back and approach conflict as God does with us in Christ.
$75.00
Conflict is unavoidable for students. Frustration with friends, hurt feelings, misunderstandings, and relational tension are part of everyday life. Big Picture helps students step back from the swirl of conflict and see relationships through a gospel lens. Instead of reacting from emotion, students learn to respond from identity—anchored in who Christ is and what He has done.
This series unpacks four transformative truths: sin makes a mess, fairness isn’t always the goal, honesty restores relationships, and conflict can actually become a catalyst for spiritual growth. When students zoom out and see the big picture, they learn how the cross reshapes every fight, frustration, and relational breakdown.
Hebrews 12:1–2
Students discover how easily conflict spirals when they fixate on the moment instead of the big picture. Hebrews calls them to throw off the sin that entangles and fix their eyes on Jesus, who saw beyond His suffering to the joy set before Him. Students learn that the cross is bigger than one moment, and God’s purpose for their relationships is too.
Psalm 103:8–12
Students often want fairness, but Scripture shows that God doesn’t treat us as our sins deserve. Psalm 103 paints a picture of God who is compassionate, slow to anger, and radically forgiving—removing our sin as far as the east is from the west. Students learn that forgiveness, though “unfair,” reflects the heart of God and protects relationships from endless cycles of revenge.
Galatians 2:11–14
Students see how avoiding honesty only deepens relational damage. Paul models gospel-rooted confrontation when he challenges Peter’s hypocrisy—not to shame him, but to restore what was being broken. Students learn that silence, gossip, and bottled emotions make conflict worse. Honest, grace-filled conversations are part of living out gospel truth in community.
Matthew 5:43–47
Jesus challenges students to love not just friends, but enemies—and to imitate God, who shows kindness even to those who oppose Him. Conflict feels bad, but Jesus teaches that it can actually become a pathway to spiritual growth. Students discover that every conflict invites them to reflect God’s character more clearly and move toward Christlikeness.
